YOUR TURN: Where Would You Put Recycling Bins in West Roxbury?

Where would recycling bins do the most good?

 

 

Boston's about to add 400 solar-powered recycling compactors across the city, but they won't go everywhere. City officials said the bins will go in high-traffic areas and not necessarily in residential blocks.

The recycling compactors will not be placed into parks because the bins will have advertising on their sides.

What do you think? If you were in charge of placing these bins in the neighborhood, where would they go? 

Tell us in the comments below.

I would like to see recycling containers outside the stores that sell coffee and other drinks by the gallons (Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts, for example) where paper and plastic cups, straws, and tops are thrown into the trash instead of recycled every day in untold numbers. INSIDE these establishments would be even better!

That's a good suggestion, Rickie. I agree with you, I think businesses should have recycling bins in them, too. I get frustrated when I go to a business, say a pizza place, have a single serving drink, and they don't offer recycling. I usually bring the bottle with me or place it outside of the trash bin.

I agree with Ricki. But how about also putting some up at Millenium Park? There are always so many recyclable bottles up there.

I'd say at bus stops because you always see cups, bottles left there by people once they get on the bus

Billings and Hynes Fields and other public fields such as these.

The more recycling bins the better, cannot have too many as I see it.
